APRILSKIN Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm, 3.04 fl.oz, Noncomedogenic, Grapefruit Peel Oil, O-Cymen-5-Ol helps reduce blackheads & breakouts, for sensitive & oily skin, Korean Skincare

I have been checking out various Korean beauty items as of late when I came across this one. Wasn't sure what to expect since I have mostly used lotion cleansers or Micellular water to take my make-up off. This stuff has an interesting consistency. I would describe it as kind of like a creamy Vaseline maybe? It's NOT sticky like Vaseline though. It's definitely more silky feeling, like a dry oil if that makes sense. It feels a tiny bit greasy going on (as if you were smearing something with the consistency of Crisco on your face) but it does a great job of removing make-up, even thick mascara! What I really love is that my skin feels so soft and hydrated afterwards. It really does melt onto your skin! (I use a damp washcloth to wipe everything off once I have rubbed in it all over my face and neck.) It has a very faint, fresh and fruity scent to it (although I wouldn't say it smells like grapefruit exactly.) Oh, and I have had this product for at least 3+ months and there is still plenty of product left and I use it almost every night. I would highly recommend this product for people with dryer skin. If your skin is more oily, something else may be more suitable for you.

This balm melts on your skin and removes impurities leaving the skin soft and radiant. I like ho wit smells and I'm very happy with it. It cleans the skin without stripping it of moisture so it would be great for normal to dry skin. It didnt really leave an oily residue or anything, my skin loves it.

This is the perfect skin cleanser! I have extremely sensitive skin and any other face wash or facial product destroys my skin, micro, biome, and strips my skin of healthy oils that result in worse breakouts. This does not make my skin break out. It’s very gentle And really does get the sea bomb out of my pores. Recommendation: after you get out of the shower while your skin is open, after you’ve dried off, use this to cleanse your skin. I usually spend about 10 minutes, just making circles on my skin with this, and that draws the sebum out perfectly every time. Then afterwards I use hada labo milky lotion, followed by castor oil. Now I never have any issues with a disrupted, micro, biome anymore, or acne, breakouts, or dry skin at all. Best combination I can recommend! Especially for anybody who has dry, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or eczema.

Saw this on TikTok and Instagram and wanted to try it for the blackhead removal. The product was a nice orange and smelled faintly like orange and something floral. The texture was smooth and feels a little like chilled butter before you warm it up with your fingers. As you rub, the product emulsifies and you are able to wash it away with water (kinda like soap). There is a slight residue afterwards but it does go away when you use a normal cleanser (which you are supposed to do since this is oil based) which is included if you bought the set. I didn't buy the carotene facial cleanser but it worked fine with a normal cleanser. It is just the balm and is supposed to come with a spatula but I didn't get one so I used one that I had. Because this product was super hyped, I was expecting great things from it. But at the end of the day, I think it's more of a makeup removing balm that happens to also be able to remove blackheads. I didn't see a big difference in blackhead/whitehead removal. It managed to get the part that was above my skin but anything too deep in the pore was missed. But the product does do a good job at makeup removal and simply melts on your skin. TLDR: Great makeup remover. If you wanted blackhead/whitehead removing power, just stick to a clay mask or pore strips. This won't give you as dramatic results as you think. Perhaps if you used it every day for makeup removal, this might keep you blackhead-less for longer. Just remember to follow up with a normal cleanser or you will break out from the balm.

Absolutely love the entire skincare Carrotene line. I purchased it as a gift to myself, and I have seen results using it within 2 weeks. I'm 30. AWESOME KOREAN SKINCARE BRAND. I will continue using this line.

Can’t live without it. If I don’t use it, I can tell the difference. It keeps my skin smooth and clean that I see the difference.

The Carrotene IPMP Hydromelt Cleansing Balm is an okay product, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. It has a nice texture that melts easily on the skin, and the grapefruit peel oil gives it a refreshing scent. However, while it does remove makeup and sunscreen well, I didn’t notice a significant improvement in blackheads or breakouts after regular use. On the plus side, it’s gentle and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, which is great for my oily skin. But for the price, I was hoping for better results. It’s not a bad product, just not the best for me.

I am a repeat customer so I really like this product. Using a little bit with water, I massage it gently into my skin. After 1-2 minutes, I wash it off with warm water. It leaves my skin feeling clean without any dryness. After a few uses, I noticed that my blackheads and minor blemishes were disappearing, all without harsh chemicals that can dry out your skin. I have bought this for friends and family too, that’s how much I believe in this product. Try it for a week, you will see a difference in your skin.
